Question 1

Can any tattoo be covered up?

Accepted Answer

Most tattoos can be covered, but it depends on the size, darkness, and placement of the original tattoo. We offer a free consultation to evaluate your existing tattoo and discuss realistic options for covering it.

Question 2

Will the old tattoo show through?

Accepted Answer

A successful cover-up uses strategic design, shading, and color placement to completely hide or integrate the old tattoo. Our artists specialize in techniques that ensure the old ink won't be visible once fully healed.

Question 3

Do cover-ups need to be much larger than the original?

Accepted Answer

Generally, yes. To effectively hide the old design and create a visually appealing new piece, the cover-up usually needs to be somewhat larger. We will discuss sizing during your consultation.
